Instructions

Prepare the Dip:
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, and chopped green onion until well combined.
- Gently stir in the chopped shrimp and crab meat until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- If desired, add hot sauce to taste for an extra kick of flavor.
-
-
Chill:
- Cover the seafood dip mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the dip to firm up slightly.
-
Prepare the Sourdough Loaf:
- While the dip is chilling, prepare the sourdough loaf. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut off the top of the loaf to create a lid.
- Hollow out the inside of the loaf, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell to hold the dip. Reserve the removed bread for serving.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- Once the dip has chilled, place the hollowed-out sourdough loaf on a serving platter.
- Fill the loaf with the chilled seafood dip, ensuring it is evenly distributed within the shell.
- Arrange the reserved bread pieces around the loaf for dipping.
- Garnish with additional chopped green onions or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
